Dimensions helps academic research leaders uncover the strategic insights they need to foster research partnerships that give their institution an edge.
Research collaboration is essential to your academic institution’s success. It can increase productivity, attract funding, extend research impact and enhance your reputation.
However, forming and fostering collaborations is often a challenge. It can be a struggle to access and integrate fragmented research data; find suitable collaborators for interdisciplinary and international projects; and get the insights you need for effective strategic planning and resource allocation.
But Dimensions makes it easy. The world’s largest linked research database joins the dots across the whole research landscape from idea to impact – including publications, collaborations, data sets, awarded grants, patents records, policy documents and much more.
The integrated AI and at-a-glance visualizations make it quick and easy to find and evaluate the data you need to assess researchers, uncover any conflicts of interest, and identify the best potential collaborators.

Just some of what you can do with Dimensions…
See the whole picture with linked research data
Access all the data you need in one place, with an extensive database of grants, publications and research outputs that you can integrate with your own research tools and databases. Powerful tools make it easy to uncover relationships and connections, join the dots, track trends, perform analysis and fill knowledge gaps quickly.
Increase the impact of collaborations
Identify and evaluate potential collaborators within and beyond your institution, and see which collaborations have been the most successful. Gauge a researcher’s experience by seeing their academic age; see which researchers participate in ORCID; and understand author contributions defined by CREDiT. You can also visualize collaboration networks and research connections.
Gain strategic insights
Uncover data-driven insights to guide strategic planning and research development; benchmark your institution against your peers; and identify research trends so you can get a first-mover advantage.
Scan for potential risks
Check collaborations that might face regulatory hurdles; identify unreported collaborations of concern; and uncover any compliance issues or conflicts of interest. You can also assess risk by analyzing publications (including affiliations and acknowledgements of funding programs), funding, intellectual property and clinical trials.
Armed with these insights, you can:
- Identify new collaboration opportunities that take your institution forward
- Foster a diverse, evolving community of internal and external researchers
- Showcase the results and impact of your work across the community
